Smoked Stuffed Dates

Smoked Stuffed Dates!

This is a fan favorite - a really easy recipe that is the perfect appetizer for any type of party.

Just a couple ingredients to make you the superstar!

Bacon

Blue Cheese Crumbles

Mozzarella

Dates (I used pre-pitted dates - it saves a few steps)

If you can't find pre-pitted dates you can remove the pits by slicing the date lengthwise.

Open up the date and jam in a teaspoon or so of blue cheese crumbles.

Place a small slice of mozzarella on top of the blue cheese crumbles.

Last step is to wrap a 1/2 piece of bacon around the date. If you stretch the bacon as you are wrapping - the bacon will stick to itself as it contracts. No need for tooth picks to keep the bacon in place.

I smoked these tasty treats on my Royall 3000 over apple pellets at 225F for about 90 minutes. I smoked the snacks on Frogmats so they didn't fall through the grates. These are a must have for any serious BBQ'r.
